huh?! i thought there's hart modules.. thought i saw it somewhere. nvm, i may be wrong.
my 2 cents on the TD3..
i've tried a few kinds of ekits before.. like the DTxtreme, DTxpress by yamahas. and the TD8 also.
DTxtreme, i quite like the feel of the drums. it's just like real.. not much of a difference compared to an acoustic kits in terms of feel. but the sound module to me is not as good as the roland TD8. other than that, it's just good for its price! my fren bought it for $2500. second hand. (it was retailing at $5k+) it makes use of real skins if i'm not wrong. my fren told me that it's possible to change the heads of the drums. (since the heads can be changed, it means that u can adjust the tension of the drums to ur liking. possible)
now comparing the DTxpress and TD3 side by side.
no doubt the TD3 has its plus points like rythm roach, but the sound module is just so terrible. personally, i don't like the sounds in the module.(i know for its price, u can't really complain) it's abit dead in terms of quality. whereas the DTxpress sounds more lively and the sound of the drums are just more "oophm"!!
just giving a slight comparison.
back to what i thought of the TD3. tried it at swee lee at 630pm(they close at 7pm). so kalai, the drummer in swee lee just turned on the machine and let me have a try cos i told him that i've thought of buying either a td3 or td6 or td 8, depending on the budget.. so he did a demo for me..
1.sounds unreal.
2. i'm not a big fan of rubber pads. so that makes a - point for me. some of u guys might like it.
3. there's rythm roach. good for practising!
4. 4 piece kit. u can add on if u want. but it means more money!
5. very few sounds. pay about 1k+ more? and get a TD6!

6. just hate the interface!! fewer buttons means more trouble in adjusting the settings like volume.
there's are some good things and bad things bout the TD3. makes a good practice pad of cos! but all means, it's more than a practice pad. but then again, why not the TD6?
IMHO, if i were given a choice between DTxpress and TD3, i'll go for the Dtxpress. module is better and it's more worth it i feel.
but i support roland still.

like their TD8 and Td20!!

td8 is just amazing man!!! it's 5k plus for those who wants to know the price!
hope it helps yeah?!
